Would you like to make Chrome your default browser?

What bothers you and why?

The browser wars between Chrome and Safari. There are just enough of us that use the Mac iOS on Safari who can’t edit a mailing address on large state servers using Chrome and Microsoft apps and browsers. I couldn’t get my California State Franchise Board refund without a pdf copy showing my new address on a lease. My medical coverage was dropped from the San Francisco County Health Department website because I couldn’t update my new address in another state. I’m using an iMac not a Dell computer or HP desktop pc.

Shopify apps require Chrome to work smoothly. Those countdown clocks you see on sales sites don’t edit correctly or display correctly on Safari when you’re not on Chrome. It’s a problem.

Web host masters in charge of managing the institutional website usually provide a manual way of handling such issues, but if the website does not allow for email digital attachments-a person’s personal profile information may fall through the cracks.

Word to the wise. A Samsung android phone and a pc laptop are indispensable to a writer and or editor who interfaces with business websites using Chrome—on Microsoft Edge or office.

The insidious, “Would you like to make Chrome your preferred browser?” starts off okay, but eventually you won’t be able to exit your browser without a forced shutdown. Ah the data analytics. We are just users. So yeah, it bothers me.
